Subject: RE: Lyr Req: How Can I Cry About Freedom From: GUEST Date: 10 Nov 11 - 09:16 PM Thanks for posting those! I was listening to this song, and I think I was able to fill in some of the parts you had missing. I also heard a couple little things differently. I put my additions/adjustments in brackets [ like this ]. And this song is AMAZING!! I'm walkin' slowly, takin' in the cloudy day A river of people [ passes me and goes away ] I'm feelin' weary, I'm feelin' like I'm wastin' time The troubles in my life just ain't worth a dime Oh, sisters, and brothers forgive me for the things I say I'm losin' the meaning, I'm losin' sense of night and day [ ? The sun that I'm seein' is the same around the earth ] So why is our freedom ruled by [ ? our birth ] And how can I cry about freedom When I lived a whole life of liberty And how can I sing about suffering and pain I sing for all the souls [ who ] do not complain Tomorrow, justice, it seems so high and far away [ While ] people go hungry in the street each and every day Whatever can I do, standing here on solid ground I sing for the silent people, Lord, hear our [ ? sigh/song/sound ]...OH!!! I'm wonderin' why blues and blacks and greys are coverin' the world What is the mystery of the Dark that she stays so long away Why are my sisters singin' songs [ ? of their pain so beautifully ] Why are my brothers [ cryin' tears of silence], so [ helplessly ] And how can I cry about freedom When I lived a whole life of liberty And how can I sing about suffering and pain I sing for all the souls who do not complain Who do not complain |

If you can catch them in concert they are a real treat. Just amazing! You will not be disappointed. |
Subject: Lyr Add: HOW CAN I CRY ABOUT FREEDOM (from Vida) From: GUEST,Brandon Date: 27 Apr 04 - 02:18 AM AHA!!! I never knew this cause i never owned the original printing of the cd and case sleeve, but the bloody lyrics are already printed in the sleeve of the album by Vida that thi song appears: In Bloom. Bloody Hell!!! Well here's the lyrics, for anyone interested: HOW CAN I CRY ABOUT FREEDOM I'm walkin' slowly, takin' in the cloudy day A river of people passes me and flows away I'm feelin' weary, I'm feelin' like I'm wastin' time The troubles in my life just ain't worth a dime Oh, sisters, and brothers forgive me for the things I say I'm losin' the meaning, I'm losin' sense of night and day The sun that I'm seeing is the same around the earth So why is our freedom ruled by our birth And how can I cry about freedom When I lived a whole life of liberty And how can I sing about suffering and pain I sing for all the souls that do not complain Tomorrow, justice, it seems so high and far away While people are hungry, mistreated each and every day Whatever can I do, standing here on solid ground I sing for the silent people, Lord, hear our sound...OH!!! I'm wonderin' why blues and blacks and greys are coverin' the world What is the mystery of the dove that she stays so long away Why are my sisters singin' songs of their pain so beautifully Why are my brothers crying tears of silence, so hopelessly And how can I cry about freedom When I lived a whole life of liberty And how can I sing about suffering and pain I sing for all the souls who do not complain Who do not complain |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: HOW CAN I CRY ABOUT FREEDOM From: Jim Dixon Date: 02 Mar 03 - 01:21 PM Vida's performance of "How Can I Cry about Freedom?" (by Smiley--I think that would be Moira Smiley, a member of Vida) appears on 2 "various artists" compilations: "Contemporary Global Voices" (Music Of The World CD 148, 2000); and "Global Voices: Traditional, Sacred & Contemporary Vocal Music" (Music of the World CD 149, 1998)--a 3-CD set which includes the previous CD. There is a sound sample at Yahoo!. I listened to it, but I couldn't figure out any more words than Brandon posted already. |

Subject: Lyr Req: HOW CAN I CRY ABOUT FREEDOM From: GUEST,Brandon Date: 12 Feb 03 - 04:04 PM Hi, I was wondering if anyone new the lyrics to the Vida song "How Can I Cry about Freedom." Vida was a four-woman a capella group from Bloomington, IN. They played their final concert back in 2001. Thanks, Brandon |
